Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter (softened)
- 1 cup Sour cream
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 cups Apples (peeled, cored, and diced)
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (for dusting, optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round bundt pan or a 9x13-inch baking dish.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.
Add the sour cream to the wet mixture and mix until smooth.
Gradually fold in the dry ingredients, mixing just until incorporated. Do not overmix.
Gently fold in the diced apples until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it out evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
If desired, dust the top with powdered sugar before serving. Slice and enjoy!
